And the workgroup plot thickens
Aug. 11th, 2014 10:57 pmSo, the aforementioned lady who does things very slowly turns out to drive another member of our little SWAT team crazy. However, where I just think harsh things, he puts them into writing.
I saw an e-mail from him to her that put my hackles up, and it was in no way directed at me. Okay, to be a little fair, this guy used to be the whole proactive team all on his lonesome, and I'm sure at that time ticket alerts were the number one priority before trends, fixing error tickets and monitoring the queue.
Ticket Alert Man hit my stupid man trick button in his e-mail to Lady of Slow when he told her that his task was the #1 priority of the team, before her tasks and mine and (if he or anyone else could figure it out) the new fourth member's as well. What a coincidence! The man's priorities are more important than the women's.
I told Lady of Slow, who was dithering about a response, that mine would have been to slap his narrow ass into next week. She grinned an unholy grin at that, and I hastened to add that maybe something along the lines of "you're not the boss of me," (he had an extremely supervisory tone in his e-mail) and that the group has gone from him to four because pretty much everything we do to manage the ticket queue is a #1 priority and too much was falling by the wayside when it was just TICKET ALERTS ZOMG ALERT ALERT.
Being more of a grownup than I, Lady of Slow translated "you're not the boss of me" into "we are peers" and took on my phrasing of "we all have a #1 priority and back each other up," thereby sucking half the joy out of everything.
Seriously, though...there will be issues if he ever tries that intimidation crap on me.
